Talkie Tuesday: Outlaw King

 

"No more chivalry. Now we fight like wolves."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Tonight's choice has been floating around for a while.

 

And honestly, I had EVERY intention of watching it just as soon as I could, and then ... then, IDK what happened.

 

But on a random whim this past weekend, I finally flicked through the Netflix movie library to unearth this one, though I have to admit that I didn't even remember the correct title, accidentally landing on The King first before I bounced to this.

 

In my defense, there's a lot of kings running around the silver screen! LOL.

 

Without further ado, let's travel back in time to Scotland - ah, bonnie Scotland.

 

We'll be having a look at a failed rebellion, a successful one, wondering where Mel Gibson went off to, and plenty other subjects while also trying to discover why we need a full frontal nude shot that makes about zero sense, all wrapped in one movie package.

 

Which movie, you ask? And I answer: Outlaw King.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Wish

 

"Just keep wishing."

 

Hello everyone!

 

In a divergence from my current Bollywood obsession, I decided I wanted to watch something a little less complicated for once.

 

I mean, listen, we all (or mostly all) love Disney, but they don't really write crime stories that make you puzzle your head to figure out what's what, let's be real here.

 

So to Disney I went, and browsed a little bit to figure out which movie I hadn't yet seen.

 

See, as a Disney kid, I've grown up watching this stuff. It's my jam, though I'll admit that some of the recent ones don't float my boat (looking at you, the movie I won't even name but only link).

 

Finding one that sounded promising and which I hadn't seen prior to this past weekend, I sat down and watched it.

 

Jury's out on the liking bit, but I can honestly say I didn't quite get it ALL in Wish.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Wonder Woman 1984

 

"Be careful what you wish for."

 

Hello everyone!

 

In this week's movie blog post, we return to the land of superheroes, impossible magic ... and fanny packs.

 

That's right people, we're going to the 80s!

 

Now obviously, people who've actually lived through the decade probably have a different view on what this movie showed, but at the same time you have to give some credit where credit's due: they took what people PERCEIVE the 80s were and made it funny, or as funny as they could possibly make it in that moment.

 

And well, most of the time it worked!

 

Plus I mean, there's just something about 80s fashion that will either make you laugh or cry your eyes out at the absolute disaster on screen.

 

Add in Perdro Pascal in a blonde wig and you probably know what movie I'm talking about here.

 

Look to the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!

 

Nope. It's Wonder Woman 1984.

Talkie Tuesday: Wonder Woman

"I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves."

Hello everyone!

So after that impromptu break which I took without announcing anything, I figured I might as well come back with a big bang. Right? Right. 

There I was, minding my own business at the seaside, when I stumbled upon Wonder Woman quite by accident. As in, I had known there was a movie being made and that it was just about to drop in theatres by the time I hightailed it to the coast, but I wasn't paying too much attention to the actual dates.

And here and now, let me tell you: boy, am I glad I paid attention later!

DC has sort of been lagging behind Marvel in terms of their superhero movies, only just coming into their own with Man of Steel and the following Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (which a lot of people complained about and I, personally, only really checked the ending of), but they now seem to be on the right track.

Let's begin our journey then, shall we? With the one, the only, Wonder Woman.

Talkie Tuesday: Star Trek Beyond

"This is where the frontier pushes back."

Hello everyone!

Back after my week-long break, and I'm feeling quite happy with how everything turned out. I settled what needed settling, finished some of the things that had been bugging me for a while, and also managed to get a good, big chunk of my fanfiction written, as well.

And  with 'big chunk' I mean roughly 110 Word pages, which I suppose in a standard reading format would be around 220-230? Somewhere around there, but I still need to finish up.

I kind of left it for another time, though, as it's all about the funerals and leave-takings and whatnot, and I didn't want to end on a super sad note!

So today I'm back with a movie review of a movie I'd seen a while back but never actually got to writing a review about. They had a thing here on TV where they aired Star Trek first, then it was Star Trek: Into Darkness, and then I decided why not round it all up and finish with the latest of the lot, Star Trek Beyond?

After all, I'd seen the trailers and LOVED it. 

I didn't love the finished product any less, either.
